Copy received from St Martin's Press via Netgalley for an honest review



This is the 4th book in the K-9 series, and this has by far been my favourite - so far!

Though they can call be read as stand alone, this one did include characters from the 3rd book, but you do not have to have read it to read Rival Forces.

Rival Forces made me feel like I was watching a Jason Bourne movie. Right from the get go, I was on the edge of my couch/bed/whereever I was reading. There was drama, suspense and a whole lot of sexual attraction thrown in for good measure!

I just never was sure who the good guy/bad guys were, and what would happen next *cue the "something's gonna happen" music*

There was this push/pull between Yardley and Kye, and while I understood Yard's hesitance, I wanted to slap some sense into her too!

The stars of this book have to be Oleg and Lily though - Yard and Kye's dogs. Such loyalty, such unconditional love.

I love that Ms Ayres never lets her characters become door mats. They are always true to themselves, dont' give a damn about it, and never let anyone change them. Both the male and female characters are strong, driven, forces to be reckoned with.

Oh, and just for fun, watch this video - you won't be sorry - and it does have something to do with the book, I promise you!

I can't wait to see what happens next in the K-9 series.
